She was born at a time when most people didn't even have electricity or refrigeration, and yet held a job for herself in her later years in a time when even the young women of the show are expected to get married and stay home to raise the kids. She transcended all of that. I think calling her an astronaut is a lovely analogy.

Kiernan Shipka was about 11 years old on this chapter and she delivered one of the best acting pieces that a child has done in front of a camera on the last 20 years. What a talented girl she is !!!!

That goodbye from Sally to her father. The pain, the disconnect, it's palpable.

Gotta say, it was a wonderful touch to have the actor commentary on set, in costume. Its very surreal to have them speaking about "themselves" in this way that would feel conpletely different if they were on some talk-show in plaindress.

It struck me when Christina Hendricks was speaking that what makes a great actor is the they see the character as real, and as a consequence, we suspend disbelief, and see them as real too.

I can't believe they didn't talk more about Ms. Blankenship in this episode. This episode was hilarious! But also, I hated that they took her out of the show. She was so funny! They could have done so much with her in future episodes. Can you imagine some of the "one liners" she could have made with her "seedy" past? I think they cut Ida Blankenship out way too soon. Kudos to you Randee Heller. You really rocked this role!!

My favorite Blankenship one liner is "this is a business of sadists and masochists and you know which one you are", because in that *exact same episode,* someone suggests to Don that he could get another secretary if he's really that fed up with Blankenship under performing, to which Don replies something along the lines of, "She's the punishment I deserve".

Off-topic but the necklace and pendant that Joan wears is her signature piece. I wonder if Christina Hendricks kept that after "Mad Men" ended.

I also learned that Ms. Hendricks who likes vintage clothing and other items had purchased the necklace/pen and then used it in the TV show. I don't know if the necklace was bought for "Mad Men" or if the actress simply decided on something from her own belongings but it works with the Joan Holloway look and character. I'm something of a pen collector and would like to know if Ms. Hendrick's pen is a fountain pen (probably) and if it still works and if she still wears the necklace!

He didn't even loved Megan, but the idea of her, which is why the whole marriage went to shit the second she expressed her desires to pursue an acting career and finally shattered this bubble Don had been happily living in (rejecting advertising meant, in a way, rejecting Don, at least that's how he saw it)

He didn't engage in adultery to be with her, their love could have been clean and good. Class right through! When Don dumped her, that's the moment I stopped rooting for him, stopped hoping for him to be a stand up guy. Goodbye Don, If you end up all alone in the end, you've only yourself to blame.

I find it interesting how many people see her as a feminist. While she fights a lot of sexist barriers at work, I always saw her a self-interested. She's fighting for herself and not some ideals. Its one of the things the show did so well: characters fit with the time period they were in, their actions seem realistic too. They managed to not project current ideals/actions of feminists to the characters. Tho, I feel like mad men reaaaaallly screwed up at race. They couldve done so much more and so much better :/

@@ykMMD I agree, I loved Dawn and Shirley but the writers clearly weren't sure how to tell a story about race. I agree that the views of the white characters are realistic of the time, they never try to write away the racism. At the same time, the small attempts for them to follow Dawn's life didn't really end up anywhere. Unlike the other side characters (Harry, Ken, and later Bob), we didn't get to see any deep revelations of her character. She gets Joan's job, and that's sort of the last we see of her. They make a point to recognize that black people were marginalized in the workplace but then marginalize them in the story as well (compare that to female stories which are obviously given just as much room as the male stories). It's a near perfect show, and that sadly is one of the imperfections.

"The beautiful girls"? Elizabeth Moss? Okay.

I disagree with Weiner's premise that somehow 60's women were subjugated to the whims of men and lacked self-determination. Yes, men place women in difficult circumstances they might have chosen to avoid but women do the same thing to men. I think it is feminist hyperbole to think women are always thwarted by men without conceding that men are often thwarted by women, then as now. Men could be more piggish and insensitive then but women find ways to get their revenge, often through emotional blackmail. Most women play on the home court of emotion while most men play on the home court of logic and pity the man who tries to beat women on their home court using logic. It doesn't work.
